September 9th 2014:The car is officially revealed. (Official pictures, post 32 onward)

Mercedes is launching its new coupe in two trims, both packing the brand's new 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 with dry-sump lubrication, dubbed the M178. The standard GT boasts a healthy 456 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.

Preliminary figures from the company claim that it can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and carry on to an electronically limited top speed of 189 mph. If that's not enough speed, the GT S makes 503 hp and 479 pound-feet to reach 60 in an estimated 3.7 seconds all the way to a limit of 193 mph.

The GT S has optional dynamically adjusting engine and transmission mounts. When cruising, they can be soft and compliant but firm up during more enthusiastic driving. The pack also adds Race and M (for manual) transmission modes, retuned power steering, a stiffer suspension and increased negative camber at the front axle.

====================

• Internally-code named C190, the upcoming Mercedes-Benz AMG GT has about six months from being officially revealed.
• it will not be a direct replacement for the epic SLS AMG, Mercedes-Benz.
• Maybe we can call it as "BABY SLS".
• ​SLS AMG GT was way too expensive to go against competition.
• It will have traditional doors (i.e. no gullwing design)
• Mercedes-AMG GT (C190) will offer around 485-500 hp in its ?standard? guise, while its overall weight will be almost 100 kg (220 pounds) lower than that of the SLS AMG.
• Mercedes-Benz GT will sport the new M177 engine, which is a four-liter twin-turbocharged V8 based on bonding two M133 four-cylinder engines from the 45 AMG models together.
• The most potent should offer upwards of 600 horsepower. AMG?s seven-speed SPEEDSHIFT dual-clutch ?box, meanwhile, will handle gear changes. It will be mounted at the rear to help even out the weight distribution.
• The images of red car are actually rendered images on basis of the camouflaged actual prototype
• The AMG GT will be released sometime this year.

Unlike the SLS, which only used the naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8, the GT will come with an all-new AMG engine. Basically a “double or nothing” version of the M133 four-cylinder engine in the 45 AMGs, this will be a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8.

Forced induction will arrive via twin-scroll turbochargers placed in between the cylinder banks. Just like on the SLS, the powerplant will be placed in a front-mid configuration. The new engine should deliver about 500 HP and a peak torque of 700 Nm (516 lb-ft). This means that its main rival will be the Jaguar F-Type, but, as usual, the two-plus-two Porsche 911 is also in sight.

The all-new M178 engine, is set to power the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT (C190).

510 hp (503 bhp) at 6,250 rpm and 650 Nm (479 lb ft) of torque between 1,750 rpm and 4,750 rpm.

As expected, the 3982 cc cylinder displacement is exactly twice of the M133 engine in the “45 AMG” models, with the M178 essentially being two four-pots bonded together to form a V8.

unlike the M133 from the A 45 AMG and Co., the new M178 looks to be very lightly stressed, with the turbochargers only bringing up to 1.2 bar (about 17.4 psi) of boost, as opposed to the 1.8 bar (26 psi) of boost in the M133 four-cylinder.

Just like a racing engine, the new M178 uses a dry-sump lubrication system, which provides its part for the powerplant to achieve a dry weight of just 209 kg (461 pounds) , which is lower than both that of the BMW S63 and the Audi 4.0 TFSI engines.
